Abstract
We find the defining equations of Rees rings of linearly presented height three Gorenstein ideals. To prove our main theorem we use local cohomology techniques to bound the maximum generator degree of the torsion submodule of symmetric powers in order to conclude that the defining equations of the Rees algebra and of the special fiber ring generate the same ideal in the symmetric algebra. We show that the ideal defining the special fiber ring is the unmixed part of the ideal generated by the maximal minors of a matrix of linear forms which is annihilated by a vector of indeterminates, and otherwise has maximal possible height. An important step in the proof is the calculation of the degree of the variety parametrized by the forms generating the height three Gorenstein ideal.
